A good weekend

The auction was a success, came home with a rubber water trough, a meat cutting band saw/grinder combo (just have to get my elk now!) a swivel stool for Ted's shop, a couple sheets of 3/4 inch plywood, a bale fork to fit on the tractor bucket, and a few more odds 'n' ends.
My sister went home today, here is a photo I took on the Kootenay Lake Ferry on the way home.

It was kind of a dreary day, and big white capped waves but you couldn't notice them much on that big ferry. We are supposed to get snow tonight- bah!
I bought the little Nikon Coolpix camera that I had my eye on, just a nice little pocket camera that should work fine for me for now- I'll try it out tomorrow, hopefully NOT on fresh snow!
The calves were sorted off and hauled out on Saturday; I couldn't help because I had to work the auction, but apparently Beamer thought he should be in there working; they were sorted in to the pen next to him. He loves working cows! The mama cows did a little bawling, but not too bad. It's funny, they are quiet uintil they see me walking out to do chores  and then they serenade me.

The bull is a handsome fellow, quite photogenic.

I won't get much time to work Rio until my hunting season is over, I only have until the end of the month so I need to get out every afternoon. He's looking pretty good though, his winter coat is nice and dark, and I have to show you what his heart marking is doing- it now looks like a shield inside a heart- how unique is that!
